The bad: I thought the book lacked reflection and the ending felt cut off. We don't get to see Esther build a new life on the new (emotional) freedom that she found (perhaps a reflection on the author's life). Esther never reflects on how her behaviour influences other people or how they may have done so in the past. In a way, although she feels better, the book ends before Esther can move past her depression. Thus, the book lacked resolve for me. All in all the book left me feeling icky and I was glad to finish it.
